Living in the past well Wembley was last year, and yes Akins only made a cameo apperance their so not to blame for the loss, AGAIN.
This is not a constuctive opinion but a witch hunt of one of our players,

Of course it's a constructive opinion from a supporter and regular attendee of 4 decades, so don't you dare say it's anything other.
Your constant trolling regarding Clough, Akins and Burton does get rather boring though.

[Amber Andy]

He makes a very valid point. Isn't that what this thread all about ? Just look at the title.

[scotsstag]

The thread is about differing opinions, just the same as any other.

[Amber Andy]

The thread title in my opinion is distasteful and I'm surprised the mods have not removed it, or at least retitled it.

[scotsstag]

Agreed, regarding the title.

[Amber Andy]

Agreed, regarding the title.

Thanks. I appreciate your comment. You are entitled to your opinion.

Yep, there is only room for one opinion on this board, which is yours of course.

That is totally unfounded and harsh.
Nice to see the thread title has been altered.

[adamstag]

So the black and white of it is since he’s been with us he’s been raspberries?

[Amber Andy]

The comments on this board have gone from ridiculous to insane. Time to leave you guys to it.

He shouldn’t be starting should he, be real

[wardy12345]

Maybe he’s a better player in d1 when your given more time on the ball and it’s not so physical.

Where have I said he should be starting ? In fact I said IF everyone was available from the Stockport game then the side should have remained the same.

Would be interested to see if those whoscored stats that Darren Shaw posts on here post game, start to do a stat specifically for Lucas Akins - a stat that shows how many times his second touch is a tackle.

[pemill]

At RWB when Hewitt & Gordon are on the bench, he shouldn't be selected imo, especially when he hasn't played a game for a number of weeks.
Just back from injury, not fully up to speed, not his natural position - unfathomable

Hewitt and Gordon are on the bench for a reason, and when we gave away the second goal both were on the pitch
Without conceding that second goal it would have been a good point.
Akins was not on the pitch.
With 5 subs allowed tha game plan can be changed and tactics can be modified to change formations

Were they on the pitch when we conceded the first goal? Was Akins? Without conceding that first goal it would have been a good point. Neither were on the pitch for the first goal but Akins was.

You see Bear we can all make silly statements. I agree that Akins should start ahead of Gordon but Hewitt is far better especially when Akins hasn’t played for a few weeks.

If you read this thread back you will see that I’ve stated he gets too much stick but that doesn’t make him a superman. We can only judge on what we’ve seen and he has been no more than average

[AJStag]

Akins was the only member of the back 5 to escape criticism for Sutton's first goal but.There are some on here that will blame him for the 2nd too !!

[lifestags]

Not just Akins that isn't playing well, Macca hasn't started this season well at all, I think he looked much stronger as a LB.

Taking your point Sandy defending a free kick Hewitt and Gordon should be in a defensive position.
The first goal was from open play and i will look back on the replay to see why or if Akins had any invovement in the first goal.
Superman has nothing to do with it he has not settled in because of injuries, and has been average.
some off the critcism on here has been totallly out od order,
Now to see why he could have prevented the first goal,

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Bear if you are commenting that Hewitt and Gordon were responsible for the second goal, please make that point clear. You only stated they were on the pitch and Akins wasn’t.

It’s pretty obvious that Akins wasn’t responsible for the second goal as he wasn’t there so why point that out?.

I’m sure you are often misinterpreted on this board and a bit of clarity wouldn’t go amiss and it may prevent some of the comments you receive.. it’s a bit like Akins I suppose.

Was Akins on the pitch Just he was on the right wing and to say because he was on the pitch we conceded the first goal.
Akins had nothing to do with either goal, i will tell you this if he could have prevented the first goal he would be superman.
Sandy it goes to show this vendetta against one of our players is way way over the top.
And on this we both agree

No im not commenting on Gordon or Hewitt, they are there to do a job and my opinion is not valid as to who does or does not play.
pitting one player against another, Akins has been a scape goat.
Blamed for Clarke not playing also Lapslie, Maris. Bowery, its just constant.
Clarke, Lapslie, Maris dont even play wing backs, Gordon Hewitt, out the whole lot only Gordon is a winger =wing back, and he is coming back from a long term injury.
So perhaps needs time for match fitness and bringing in carefully.
On Sat you could blame many players for the result, But Akins, no, oh the wrong team selection he did nothing wrong only played part of the game coming back from injury.
Dragging down one of our own players on social media does not bode well, We all have a moan when not playing well and are critical.
But to pick on any player week in week out takes things too far,
